Deposits to Hold a Date
We do not offer an option to “hold” a potential date. When you wish to secure your reservation, rental fees are due.
Security/Damage/Cleaning Deposit
Most SMILE Station rentals require a $350 refundable security/damage deposit. For some rentals, this deposit may be waived when little or no food is served during the rental period. The purpose of the security deposit is to ensure that the Station is left undamaged, organized, and with no items missing.
Deposits and fees are due 10-14 days prior to the event. Renters will be emailed the deposit invoice at that time.

Day of Event Insurance
Day of event insurance is required for events serving alcohol and any event which is open to the public. We highly recommend the insurance for larger groups who are not serving alcohol, however it is not required.
What is event insurance? Event insurance helps protect you from liability in case someone is injured or damages the SMILE Station during your rental period. Most insurers also offer cancellation coverage specifically for weddings/receptions, which reimburses you for any non-refundable fees if you must cancel or postpone. You can quickly, easily and affordably secure this insurance though EventHelper.
